Dear Queenie,
When my husband and I quarrelled yesterday he drove away in his car and didn’t come home until after he got out of work today. He said he had spent the night at the house of a friend of ours who is a woman but he only slept there, nothing else happened.
However, she hasn’t spoken to me since that night and won’t answer my phone calls.
Queenie, how can I believe him?—Suspicious wife
Dear Wife,
He may be telling you the truth, but you have good reason to doubt his word. Professional counselling might help the two of you resolve this issue. If your husband will not go with you, go alone.
You have good reason to wonder how good a friend of yours – and your husband! – this woman really is. Hopefully, the counselling will help you resolve that issue, one way or the other, as well.
